tion also contained a clause that the
site might be changed. btlt later Judge

posed clerk.

ner changed. He spent a great deal of
time with the nurse. On February 12.
1903. he told his wife he was going to
California with his sister. Instead he
took Miss Fuller and his little son,
Richard.
He wrote to his wife saying that all
the affection he had was for Miss Ful-
ler and not for her. On February 26.
1903, when Mrs. Stanton learned for
certain that her husband had left her
she went to Florida and remained for
two weeks.

was scored by Mrs. Agnes Havllund Ill
hcr annual song recital. last night, at
Luckwood's Hall, Norwalk. which was
attended by a large and representative
audience of the most prominent music
lovers and musical critics in town.
Mrs. Haviland was in perfect voice
and covered herself with glory. delu-
onstrating to her many friends that
she is constantly Improving. Thotlgh
her triumph a year ago at tile same
hull was a very fine one. she even
eclipsed this last evening.
The program was a varied one and
of such a nature as to bring out the
unusual versatility of Mrs. llavlland's
pleasing voice. That she has been an
apt pupil of finished instructors and
an ardent sttldeut was clearly apparent.
in such a program it would be hard
to express all opinion as to just which
compositions she excelled in. as list-
.lrnlly some numbers would lndlvld.
uslly impress her hearers differently.
All who heard her. however, are unall-
lmous in expressing the opinion that
every selection was creditably inter-
preted.
N0 sutall share of the honors of the
evening is due Isadore Lllckutollo, the
accompanist. whose playing was ex-
quisltc as is always the case. ills
work was at all times In sympathy
with Mrs. Havlland's volco.
In the last number on the program.

LIGHTNING STRIKES .
SOME uonwuv HOMES

Rendered Unconscious, ‘end
Buildings and Trees Wert
Damaged
A series of electrical storms struck
Norwalk last night. and continued
with increased fury until the early
hours of this morning, carrying cxtcn
sive damage in their wake.
The most. severe shower occurred
shortly after 1 o'clock. with the storm
center over Unionville. Norwalk. One
blind young lady, Miss Amelia Beers.
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H.
Beers, was rendered‘uucousclous. and
three places in the vicinity were
struck.
At the Beers home. which is located
In Strawberry Hill avenue, 9. bolt first
lmbedded itself into a tree In front of
the house and darted at the building
smashing out window and sash. Mlsr
Beers recovered consciousness in a
short time. but received a. severe shock.
Mr. Beers also lost‘thirty young chick
ens. which were killed.
A peculiar result followed the land
ing of a belt of the fiery fluid which
went through the chicken house ill the
yard of a house in Strawberry Hill
avenue owned by Miss Carrie D.
Brown. The house is occupied by
Charles Low and family; The shock
of the bolt was so great that all of
the window glass in the house was
broken. it is stated. also. that even
the feathers, on some of the bone In
the chicken’house were scorched. Bir
stones in a fence were thrown heifer
shelter and when the lightning dc
partedrit dug a hole in the ground sev.
eral feet in depth and diameter.
Another bolt of lightning made an
investigation of the barn at. Mrs. Ella
obethC. Burger‘s residence ill West
port avenue, doing considerable dam
age; .
An Investigation of the telcpllonr
service this morning shchd that mill
wires In the vicinity of Strawberry

At the Wilton railroad station the
lightning jumped over the wires and
blew out a number of fuses. The

It will be gratifying howls to the
consumers of gan‘jin The Norwalks
that the price of illuminating gas has
been rhduced from 81.65 per thousand
feet. 1011.25 per thousand feet, the
same price as that charged for gas
for fuel purposes." The letter of Sn-
perintendent Walnright to Represents-
tlve Quintet-d. containing notice of the
reduction, is as follows:
Hon. ll‘. ll. Quintard, South Norwalk,
Conn.
My Dear Sir: The Consolidated
Railway Company has authorized the
for gas in the Norwalk division.
In order to have this take effect as
soon as possible. I anrplensed to ad-
vise you that we propose to grant such
reduction to take effect as of May 1st.
1907. and including May was. as fol-
lowa: “
The previous rate for lighting to
be discontinued. and clinics to be
$1.35 gross with 10 centadiscouul. per
thousand cubic feet for payment on or
before the tenth day ofi‘ths current
month. making the not rate 81.25 per
thousand cubic feet.
This reduction is very pleasing to
me and will prove much more conven-
lent to our consumers, whereby they
can use one meter for all purposes.
For the present those customers who
are supplied‘by two or more meters
will continue to use them at the single
rate, but we propose to remove the
unnecessary motors as wcasion may
require. .
Yours truly, »

ACQUIRED BY OONSOLIOATEO
New Haven Corperdtlon 'lle-

trolling Interosl
nosrou. May lie—Tho publication
today of information from New York
and New Haven the effect that the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
llnllmurl Company for formulated
plans to acquire control of the Bos—
ton and Maine Railroad was received
with interest all over New England.
President 'I‘uttlc of the Boston and
Maine Railroad. was not at his allies
today, and his secrctnr stated that he
would be away until day. No oili-
rlnl could be found at t e North Sta-
tlpn who’carod to discuss oliclally
any of the details of the published
story.
It is intimated by persons closely as-
sociated with Boston and Maine inter
cats that. whatever has been done has
been carried on secretly. it is under
stood that persons acting on behalf of
the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford Railroad Company havo been
"sounding” stockholders of the Boston
and Maine on unproposition to ex-
change 8 per cent. New Haven stock
for 7 per cent. Boston and Maine
stock. share for share. and that the
proposition has been received favor-
ably by many Boston and Maine hold-
ers. In flu-t It was stated that some
30 per cent of the stocks of the Bos-
ton and Maine could be secured at
once, under the exchange offered. The
stockholders of the Boston and Maine
are said to be about 7.000 in number
and because that the individual hold-
lngs in many cases are very small and
widely distributed some investors llv~
lug even in foreign countries. it is be-
lieved that the New Haven interests
would not have to control an actual
majority in order to gain a predomlno
ant influence In the Boston and Maine.
Moreover .it is understood that the
purposes of the New Haven road would
be accomplished for the present at
least. if it were able to exert such an
influence as this.
This, It is pointerh out. would give
the New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford an opportunity to try a plan of
quasi-consolidation which could be si-
ven up or carried forward to a lease
or merger. as results might indicate.

an argument ensued. Mrs. Cullings
says that Mrs. Scott pushed her down
the stairs of her home. Mrs. Cullinzi's
condition Was so bad and her Bright's

At the hospital this afternoon it was
said that Mrs. Culllllgs was in about
the same condition.
